The company I work for has asked me to evaluate IDE's for Java,
and I would like to include those that run under Linux. For the
past year, I have been the only Java programmer in the shop, and
I've put out 30K lines of code using a text editor and javac. We
are looking for something that would help the other programmers
in the shop (PC Visual Basic and AS/400 RPG programmers) come up
to speed and build new apps quickly. To me, that means not having
to reboot or reinstall at frequent intervals, and that's why the
ability to use the tool under Linux if the developer wants to is
important. We will be using JDBC and RMI to a couple of AS/400's,
as well as the IBM AS/400 Toolbox for Java.
The no-brainers that made the list right away are Visual Age,
JBuilder, and NetBeans, because they all run (or will soon) on
Linux. Can anybody give opinions or sources of info that will
help us with this decision? What I want to prepare is a feature-
for-feature comparison.
